While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report that extracellular vesicles released into the bloodstream during aerobic exercise can, on their own, drive a robust increase in adult ...

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

After new research into so called "super agers," neurogenesis, and Alzheimer's was published in a major journal, ABC4 spoke to one of the researchers to understand what it might mean for you.

Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study ...

Contrary to earlier dogma, scientists now know that the human brain does make new neurons throughout life. This raises two fundamental questions about age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as ...
